30-day free trial · no credit card
Build your homeschool plan from any curriculum you love.
Plan the week, track progress across every subject, and hand each kid a simple portal of their own, without spreadsheets.
Know your state's rules and never miss a filing deadline, with a 50-state + DC guide and deadline reminders built in.
Free for 30 days, then from $20 per student per year, or a flat $75/year family plan for 4+ students.
Already have curriculum? Reused from last year, bought secondhand, or pieced together from a dozen different platforms: HomeStudyPath is the one place to schedule it, track it, and see it all in one plan.
Each child gets their own login.
Today's lessons, what's coming up, their chores and goals, and the books they're reading.
120+ community-sourced curriculum resources.
Browse by subject + grade + format. Submit your own with one form, and jump straight to reviews on the homeschool sites you already trust, one tap from any resource. Save any find to a kid's library in one tap.
Track expenses and reimbursements, built in.
Log every purchase with receipts and eligible-expense categories, flag what you paid out of pocket and mark it reimbursed when the money comes back, and print a quarterly or annual report for any reimbursement, stipend, or scholarship program.
Not on one? Keep tidy records for your own taxes instead, since a handful of states offer a homeschool credit or deduction. Arizona ESA families also get award-vs-spend matched to the Jan / Apr / Jul / Oct funding cadence.
How HomeStudyPath compares
Every claim about typical planners links to a public source you can verify. We surveyed ten currently-operating homeschool LMS and record-keeping products to build this table.

One charge a year, with an email reminder before it renews. | Planner-class products: $49 to $90 a year on annual plans, or $3 to $9.95 a month. Full-curriculum platforms: about $40 per student per month before multi-student discounts.[4],[13],[14],[17],[19],[21],[23] |
| State compliance | A 50-state + DC guide with calendar reminders for every filing deadline, plus pre-filled printable drafts for the 13 jurisdictions with annual paperwork. | Competitors link out to HSLDA's per-state pages. No deadline picker, no pre-filled drafts.[1],[2],[3],[4] |

A planner. A curriculum builder. A kids' portal.
Three steps from a blank week to a school year that runs itself.
01
Build the plan, your way
Start from what already works: one of 60+ grade-by-grade templates, a find from our 120+ resource community library, or your own materials (last year's books, secondhand finds, several publishers at once). Combine it all into one plan, paste any URL as a lesson resource, and define your own subjects. Templates are a starting point, not a cage.
02
Track everything in one place
Lessons schedule on a weekly grid. Time-tracked hours roll up to hours by subject for state reporting. Assessments, goals, observations, reading progress, portfolios: all auto-rolled-up into per-student progress pages, an academic-term progress bar on the Dashboard, and an annual report.
03
Hand off a kid-friendly portal
Each child gets their own login ("My School"). They see today's lessons with the subject on each one, what's coming up this week, their chores, goals, and books. They check off their work, log reading time, add the book they're reading, and (if you allow it) snap a photo of finished work for their portfolio. Missed work waits in a gentle Catch up list, and you can review what they mark done before it counts.
New to homeschooling? Start from 60+ grade-by-grade templates.
Built for the way homeschool actually goes.
Plans slip, kids share lessons, every family mixes curricula, and your data should always be yours: four things most planners miss, baked in.
When the week slips, slide it forward.
Missed Tuesday and Wednesday? Bump every unfinished lesson forward by a week with one click. No re-entering, no drag-and-drop. Keeps the day of the week, picks up where you left off.
Plan once for every kid.
Teaching the same unit to both children? When you add a lesson, tick the chip for each sibling. One entry, every child's plan. Curriculum-library finds can be added to one, several, or all of your kids at once too.
One subject, all of them, or just extracurriculars.
Track just the math you supplement at home, a full homeschool across the core five, or only extracurriculars like music lessons, sports, and field trips. Define your own subjects, or add a state-required preset in one click (Arizona's five-subject set is built in).
Your data, in your hands.
Download every record in your account (lessons, grades, transcripts, field trips, chores, expenses, even the audit log) as JSON, CSV, or a full backup ZIP that includes every uploaded file. Back it up, switch tools, archive at year-end. No lock-in.
Modern tools your old planner didn't have.
Co-parent access, home-screen install, calendar feeds, and a real audit log. The table-stakes features homeschool software has been missing for a decade.
Built for two-parent families.
Invite a co-parent by email: both of you sign in with full write access, plan together, and show up by name on the Activity log, so it's never a mystery who edited a lesson. The owner can remove access; either of you can leave on your own terms.
Open in any browser, install anywhere.
A full web app for any modern browser on laptop, tablet, or phone. Install it to the home screen on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Android, and iOS with its own icon and an offline-ready app shell. The kids' portal installs separately as "My School."
60+ curriculum templates.
Pre-built scope & sequences for every K-12 grade across Reading, Grammar, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Clone a full year of units into a student's plan with one click, or start with a template and edit from there.
Syncs to your calendar and inbox.
Subscribe Google or Apple Calendar to a private iCalendar feed of every lesson and break. Opt into a Friday weekly digest or daily missed-lesson alerts. Both off by default, both private.
Kids' portal that respects their time.
Each child has their own login at a separate URL. They see only today's lessons. Tap to expand for instructions and links, tap to mark complete, a catch-up pill surfaces yesterday's unfinished work.
An audit log you'll actually look at.
Every change is recorded with who, what, when. The Activity timeline lets you click any row to see the lesson title, subject, or grade context, with a one-tap link to the record. The log itself stores no PII; names are resolved at view time.
Every part of a homeschool year, in one place.
Plan it, teach it, log it, print it. No bloat, no upsells, no fake limits.
Family profiles
A profile per child, each with their own grade level and progress page. $20 per student per year, or a flat $75/year family plan once you reach 4 kids. Outside the US? Pick "I'm not located in the USA" at signup and the state-law features stay out of your way.
Weekly + monthly planner
Mon–Fri grid per student, or switch to a 6×7 calendar Month view for the wider picture. Lessons hold a title, subject, duration, instructions, and resource links, not just a label. Drag any lesson to a different day in either view.
Curriculum unit plans
An ordered scope & sequence per student and subject, with optional date windows and per-unit completion tracking. Clone a template or build your own from any mix of curricula, secondhand materials, and online programs, then hit "Schedule lessons" to spread the units across the weekdays you choose in one pass.
Curriculum library
120+ community-sourced resources, from Khan Academy and Story of the World to Beast Academy and Brave Writer. Filter by core subject, by Music, Art, Finance, Writing, or History, or by Extracurricular. Each resource shows Public / Free account / Paid access and Religious badges before you click out.
Reading log
Three-shelf book tracker (currently reading, finished, set aside) with page-count progress bars per student.
Digital portfolio
Upload photos of artwork, scans, lab reports, essays, organized by student and subject. File keys are opaque (never names).
5-tab progress page
Overview, Gradebook, Assessments, Goals, Progress Records, with color-coded grades and a 4-week lesson trend.
Time-tracked hours
Record actual minutes per lesson. Perfect for hour-counting states. The Annual Report rolls it up into hours by subject.
State homeschool laws
A 50-state + DC guide to required hours, subjects, and filings, each linked to the state's own regulator. Add any annual deadline to your calendar feed, and print a pre-filled filing draft in the 13 jurisdictions with annual paperwork.
High-school transcript
Per-student courses by school year, cumulative + per-year GPA on an unweighted 4.0 scale, with a printable transcript carrying your family name as the issuing school.
Field trips
Log museum visits, sports, music lessons, science-center outings, with category, location, duration, attendees, and subject tags.
Daily chores
Pick from a 40-chore sample library or write your own. Assign one chore to several kids, or rotate it round-robin day by day (perfect for dishes). Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom recurrence. Kids tap to check chores off in their portal, and a child's device can get a morning push reminder.
Summer break tracking
Add a Summer Break term and the Dashboard re-skins for vacation, counting the days until school resumes. Keep logging reading, field trips, and chores without an overdue-lesson list nagging you, then slide your planner forward in two clicks when you're ready to resume.
Annual report + printouts
PDF-ready year-end summary. Tick the sections you need (summary card, hours by subject, monthly bar chart, full lesson list, assessments, portfolio thumbnails, transcript) and leave the rest off. Weekly / daily printable lesson sheets and a quarterly education-expense report sit alongside.
Privacy-first by design.
Your child's name never appears in a URL, a log line, or an analytics call. Portfolio files are stored under opaque IDs. Audit-log rows hold no PII, just opaque references resolved in your browser. No third-party advertising trackers, no analytics beyond Cloudflare's cookieless page counts, no shared identifiers. We never sell your family's data or use it for ads. The only outside services that handle it are the few that run the app (hosting, payments, and email delivery), each named in our Privacy Policy.
Set up your year in an afternoon.
Import your curriculum, set the school year, and the planner paces the rest. You can always change it later.
